62 Width

I know I'm on the 48-60 sight, but this is such a friendlier bunch, and I do most of my surfing here since I have a 57. However, I have to go pick my son's 62 up this weekend, and I am worried that it will not fit on my trailer. Soes anyone know, or know where I can find, the width of a 62 F100? I am worried that it will hit the sides of the trailer at the door curves. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Vern

Vern, I just went out and measured my '62 unibody. It should be close even if your son's is separate cab/body. I measure a consistent 78" wide across the grill, across the hood above the front fender, rear end across the gate area and across the box above the rear fender ridge.

The sides are pretty much vertical slab sides so it should be the same near the door curve - which is very slight.

Hope this isn't too late to help.
Tim
